Ex-Googler here. The comment above is wrong and sexist.

Googleyness was always about bringing up the people around you and elevating your team’s potential, something that both women and men can excel at.

I have a lot of complaints about Google’s perf process, but I never saw toxic masculinity, competitiveness or putting down co-workers. On the teams I was part of, if any of that happened it would have been dealt with harshly and stopped immediately.
